Oops, forgot to note that this season is bitter-sweet for you. My mother’s final Christmas was painful to watch - she kept on saying “I want to die” repeatedly. A week later she was in a coma and her wish was realized on 16 January 1978. I still miss her on holidays, but the sting of her death is no longer with me.

Thanks, Linda. I'm glad Mom didn't have to experience Covid in a senior's home. Still miss her very much of course, but that small comfort takes the sting away a little. Merry Christmas to you!

My goal this Christmas is to stay in my pajamas all day. So far, so good. Happy holidays, my friend.

That sounds wonderful. I suspect that will be my Saturday. The neighbors might not like the view if I wore pjs to BBQ in the driveway. Merry Christmas Tom!

Me too, Kerry. Glad our paths crossed this year. Can't believe next Friday will be 2021. I'd ask where a whole year went, but mostly Covid ate it. lol. Merry Christmas to you, Kerry and hope the day is peaceful.

Merry Christmas! To add insult to injury, it's raining here. I just chalk this one up to when you have a bad cold at Christmas. Disappointing but survivable. Keep your distance from those barbecue guests!

Raining? Omg. It rained here one winter. Turned all the streets into sheer ice. If you youtube "slipping on ice" you can even see some of them. Only me and my daughter at my BBQ. In my driveway. Because it sounded fun but we're too close to a vaccine to do it any other way. lol. Merry Christmas!

We had a beautiful snowfall last week. I really thought it would be a white Christmas. It rained all last night and now there's none in sight. My friend in Tennessee which is far south of here got snow. So unfair!

I had a not-white Christmas one year in Toronto. I didn't much like it, either. You're right - that somehow doesn't seem fair at all. lol. Merry Christmas Denise!

Merry Christmas Linda! And don't mind the bbq too much, my only choices are dumplings or turkey rice haha.

I grew up celebrating Orthodox Christmas in January instead of in December. Dumplings were definitely on the menu! lol. Merry Christmas JJ.
